Women and girls are at the heart of fostering better agrifood systems for all

Gender equality has never been more important. Thirty years after the Beijing Declaration, a landmark United Nations resolution to promote gender equality, progress on women’s rights and empowerment has been uneven, and gains made toward gender equality remain fragile.

Bold, imaginative and evidence-driven commitment to equitable food systems is more critical now than ever before as climate change, conflict, and biodiversity loss place urgent pressure on our agrifood landscapes. The Alliance is working at the vanguard of this movement through its strong focus on gender, youth, and social inclusion.
